Re: R-6 engine casings
what casings are you changing ? if its just the clutch an alternator casings you shoudnt have to drain the oil (well you dont have to on an R1) but dont quote me on that

Re: R-6 engine casings
you can do the clutch casing on an 2000 plated R-6 without draining the oil. (I know I have done it loads in the past.
I am not sure about the other ones though.

Re: R-6 engine casings
Why not just drain the oil into a plastic tub and re-use the oil?
